To call an item fat-free mayonnaise makes little or no sense. It’s like offering fat-free olive oil, or fat-free fat. To show you what I mean, here’s one company’s version of fat-free mayonnaise.
K***t Fat Free Mayonnaise:
Water, Sugar, Corn Syrup High Fructose, Food Starch Modified, Vinegar, Contains Flavor(s) Natural (Egg(s)) , Color(s) Artificial, Calcium Disodium EDTA As Preservatives, Cellulose Gel, Cream (Cream, Soy Lecithin, Tocopherols, Ascorbyl Palmitate) , Lactic Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Contains less than 22% of Salt, Xanthan Gum, Beta Carotene color(s), Blue 1, Phosphoric Acid, Yellow 6, Phylloquinone (Vitamin K1) , Lemon(s) Juice Concentrate, Di Alpha Tocopherol Acetate (Vitamin E).
The thing speaks for itself.
